The guide rod mounts were original, and questionable. Couldn't quite pin down the reason that the SD would pull on braking, so they get changed on principle. I'll also use the opportunity to change the bearing bracket bushings, although some think they last the life of the vehicle.
Yep, I did have all the tools, with the exception of the puller for the wheel bearing seal. That little, miserable job took nearly 30 minutes.

Yeah that seal is a pain. I used a small flat head screw driver that also has the metal all the way through the handle, and punched into the seal's metal band. After I perforated half way around it, I inseted the flat head and pried up, using the hub lip for leverage. That seal came out without a fight.
